Pre-Order Dates

We do not open pre-orders for a shipment until we have a good amount of confidence in the ship date.  That being said, the estimated delivery dates listed on our website are based on the best information that we have at the moment.  While we cannot control every variable, we pledge to be honest and transparent about lead times.

- The ship dates that are on the website represent our honest estimate of the date that the bikes will ship on.

- Where information is imprecise (for example, referencing a month or quarter), it is because there are unpredictable factors that make it so we cannot credibly be more precise.

- We will work tirelessly to keep the bikes on schedule. It's part of our company culture to be very involved in our supply chain and to be proactive about addressing issues that could turn into delays.

- If something happens that changes the ship date we will communicate quickly and clearly about the delay.

- You can cancel your pre-order any time before your bike ships.


Pre-date changes

Your pre-order date will be included in your order confirmation. If we learn something that changes that date, we will contact you. You might see the pre-order date change on the website. There are a variety of things that could cause a change in the pre-order date including shipping delays, back logs, or moving through different batches. Just because the date on the website changes, does not mean that the date of a pre-order already placed has changed.  Again, if you place a pre-order and the estimated delivery date changes, we will inform you.


Pre-order payment policy

Your credit card will be charged immediately when you place your pre-order.  Your pre-order is cancelable and fully refundable. If you need to cancel a pre-order contact us and we'll take care of it!

The Most Advanced 26" Mountain Bike

Packed with mega smart features

Prevelo Bikes-Zulu Five-Speed Silver

Confidence Inspiring Trail Geometry

The Zulu Five features Prevelo's signature confidence-inspiring geometry. Prevelo geometry utilizes a low bottom bracket that lowers the center of gravity of the bike and rider, making for a more agile and confident ride. The slack front end makes the bike forgiving to young trail riders experimenting with tough terrain.

heir tubeless wheels

Lightweight Tubeless Ready Heir Wheels

Wrapped with Kenda Booster Pro tires, the HEIR wheels can be easily set up tubeless so you can reduce flats, improve traction, and shave another ~300 grams of weight. The sealed cartridge thru-axle hubs make these wheels some of the fastest and most reliable wheels found on any bike. The quick-engagement rear hub sounds awesome and helps riders navigate tricky terrain.

Youth Optimized HEIR® Crank

HEIR®crank lengths are custom sized for each size bike to make sure little riders have optimum pedal ergonomics. And they have ultra-narrow Q-factors to match the narrow hips of young cyclists. If that sounds like technical mumbo jumbo, here's the point - HEIR cranks will help make small riders more comfortable and efficient on their bike.

prevelo zulu pivotal saddle

Pivotal Saddle

The Pivotal system lowers the stack height of the seat, resulting in a 30mm lower seat. This helps get small riders on big wheels. This system also helps reduce weight and increase durability.

Lightweight Wide Range Drivetrain

Microshift's Advent X AM Clutch Rear Derailleur paired with their ultra-light 10-speed G-Series 11-48T cassette, and easy-to-use trigger shifters gives progressing riders plenty of gear range to tackle a variety of trails. UDH compatible frame works with a wide range of current and future drivetrains.

Lead the pack.

What the Press Says about the Zulu Five

I really do wish there was a Prevelo in my size. I would be on it in a heartbeat. Being able to tackle everything from dirt jumps and trail riding to long days bike packing has been a game changer for my son’s riding and viewpoint of bikes in his world.

Rascal Rides

Exceptional - 5 Stars

The perfect pony for young aggressive groms who are ready to move on from their 24″ mountain bikes, the 26″ Prevelo Zulu Five is the perfect mix of playfulness and technical ability. Its Goldilocks combination of light weight, large gear range, slack head tube, and narrow q-factor make it the perfect bike for intermediate to advanced single-track warriors.

Two Wheeling Tots

Prevelo makes my favorite bikes for kids and small riders. The quality of these bikes and their components is higher than many of the adult bikes I receive for review on the channel.

Hardtail Party

Sea Otter Best of Show Award 2024

The Prevelo Zulu is the bike that first drew us to thePrevelo’s booth at Sea Otter years ago. Now better than ever, the new Zulu received a makeover, not just a color refresh.

The Prevelo bikes come highly recommended because of excellent customer service and a passionate team of cycling parents.
